THE MEETINGS or CONGRESS.

Enron Critic: The Constitution .ays that
ton!tess shall meet once every wear, and the
statute says that that once aidH he ON the first
Monday in December. would now inquire
II Congress Is forbidden 10 assemble of itS
own yolition' Has II tine power OF legal right
TO assemble Of iiS own free will, notwith-
standing high o lapns to the contrary
Washington, Mach, J.S.C.
The Constitution provides that THE
Congress shall assemble at least once In
every year, and such meeting shall be
on the first Monday in December, un-
less they shall JyldN appoint differ
ent day" also that the President may
"on extraordinary occasions convene
both houses or either of them" The
statutes and rules do not throw any
further light on the matter.
If it Is conceded that Congress de-
rives Its rights and powers solely from
the Constitution, and that the right to
convene being one of these. can be
exercised only pursuant to some pro.
vision of the Constitution, 1t is evident
that Congress can never meet OF its
own volilon on a day not previously
set by law or designated by the Presi.
dent. The authority Is to convene on the
call of the President; on the first Mon
day in December or on different day
By idic appointed.
Manifestly the Constitution recog-
nizes as necessary the authority of law
or the Presidents s call for the convening
of Congress. There is no other ma.
chinery provided for the assembling of
Congress, The authority conferred
upon the officers OF Congress or upon
majority Of its members nowhere In.
cludes that Of C0nvening either house.
The right Of the British Parliament
and other legislative bodies to convene
of their own will has frequently been
discussed, but the conditions not being
the same-the relations to the Consti.
tuition or its provisions being dis.
similar-ihese cases afford no guidance
The Constitution seems to be very
plain to the President In the case of the
River and lIarbor bill. But It isn't so
much the Constitution that stands in
the way of his signing 1t as It Is man
by the name of Cleveland. Itisa bill
which the President doesn't like we'll
enough to sign.

CmcAgo. H.. Dec. 23.-Nntural gas was
found here yesterday. The Cooke Brewing
company's plant Is situated at Twenty
seventh street aud Johnson avenue While
using city water In the manufacture Of beer,
the company has a watcr-works system Of its
own, which supplies what II necessary for
steam. washing, etc. To accomplish this n
pipe extends from the brewery under the
Illinois tracks and forty feet out into the
lake. The pump used b. q new one. The
engineer yesterday noticed that II seemed tn
be pumping wind. Thinking there was q
leak Ia the lake pipe, il was brought Ia the
surface, but was apparently sound. There
was mud on the stmincr and his was
thought strange. ~ II was supposed the bot
tom 81 the lake was sandy. Again the
pump WAS started. but Il failed 10 bring up
water. Then an examination Of the pump
was made, and when one of the valves was
removed % slight explosion took place. Tho
engineer brought q lighted candle IN Ia n.
anime the pump better, when, ~ the ilamc
I approached the valve, a pillar Of flame burt
forth, burnt for q few moments and then
went out. 4 ono aud onc-hall inch pipe
was inserted In the fiyc-inch ono, and q
| three. fourth inch opening made In the end
u the smaller pipe. From thi. for over
| twcnty.fnur hours, n hftccn-inch iamc 81
gas has been burning, and experts declare II
to be- natural gas.
